Default alignment?? need help

ok, so heres the deal...about 2 1/2 months ago i went ahead and had a local 4x4 shop go ahead and install the gears and bearing kit i had for the dana 44 front since i didnt have time. they charged me a hefty penny about $450... everything has been fine until a few weeks ago when i started to notice that the drivers side front axle seal is leaking....its not bad, but enough to bug the **** out of me. besides that, the outer edges of my tires are now worn considerably more than the inside of the front tires. i jacked up the front today to see if i could get any play both up and down and side to side. there might be a tad bit of play going side to side. but i cant hardly notice it. do you think this guy replaced the front axle bearing and seal like i asked him to?? what could be the problem with the tires wearing unevenly? all help is appreciated!!

Hi, I have had that oil leak before and it fixed it's self. It may be some krud (especialy if you've bin wheel'n) stuck in the seal. keep you fluid up and it may clear up. As for your tire wear, take it to a shop and have an alignment done. It sounds like your toe is out. They will check all the important bits for wear.
